The listing below is from NARA Film Number M237 80-828, National
Archives, Washington DC. It has been rearranged in alphabetical
order, but with family groupings retained.

Most of the passengers were Irish, but 58 (indicated by #) were
lead miners and their families from the Allendale area of
Northumberland, England, who had been been blacklisted following
an industrial dispute. The intended destination of these lead-
miners was the lead-mining areas of south-western Wisconsin and
north-western Illinois. Samuel Vickers and family are known to
have settled in New Diggings, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. George
Philipson also settled briefly in the same town, but by early 1853
he was in California and by the end of the same year he had moved
on to Victoria, Australia. Nothing is known of the other members
of the party after their arrival in New York.
